A Fabric Find and Hawthorne Threads

My gorgeous friend Rach sent me a link to Hawthorne Threads last week and I was besotted. I don’t think I’ve seen such a gorgeous range of fabric under one ‘virtual’ roof. Luckily for me I was in need of some fabric for my boys’ birthday t-shirts and then I was just so inspired by [...]

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Crimson

My colour of the week is crimson and here are the winners from my Esty colour search. A funny thing happened this week, I started to look past the product and focus on the photo, which is what attracted me to the last two, especially the Swarovksi crystal beads. Just goes to show that a [...]

I seem to have an eye for jugs at the moment, which may explain why these caught my eye. Beautiful, right? I just love the shape of the milk jug (bottom left). These are by Dorthe Hybel a Danish Ceramics Designer and in Australia you can buy them from Elevate Design.

A Shameless Plug

I am shamelessly plugging Blogging for Bliss by Tara Frey which, by the way, I haven’t read… does that make sense? Well, kind of, you see lovely Eileen over at bluebirdluxe is running a competition to win this book and I’m trying to check the boxes. Leave a comment (check), blog about it (check) and [...]

Quilting: A fine example of chaos theory

I have long held the theory that quilting is actually chaos theory in action. A small error in measuring or in my case in calculating yardage can result in a completely unexpected outcome.

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Light Pink

So here’s a new one for me this year. I’ve decided to combine two things I love in a weekly post. My first love is colour and I’m sure every creative soul out there would feel the same. Do you stumble when someone asks you what your favourite colour is? I dedicated almost two years [...]

Birthday Hearts

I just wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to my oldest friend in the world. It’s quite rare these days that you can boast of knowing someone for 37 years. We grew up in a small outback town, went to university in different cities, lived at opposite ends of the earth on more that one [...]
